Wow our marble pears......

Our new marble pears are already flying out the door, and surprisingly the largest and naturally the most expensive is selling first. They are solid marble with a rusty nail as the stalk; really cute.

Our new industrial letters are already creating a stir. We have one set spelling 'home' and another 'love' and just a single 'm'. They are quite large about 1 foot by 1 foot.....so quite a statement.

This will show you the size difference between the smallest and the largest pears. They weigh a tonne.

The tolix chairs look great and are so well made; really happy with this supplier.

A view across the counter to the front window. Well what a busy week between serving customers to unpacking stock and Emma preparing for the Niche market which was on Friday, Saturday and Sunday; i hope she goes well because she tries so hard and deserves to do well. Next week we are expecting even more stock from mainly New Zealand suppliers who i will tell you are great at what they do.....they give us Aussies a run for our money .Well i may do a Sunday post depending on how we go with preparing the barn for our Christmas festivities; cannot wait for it to be all sorted . So i may give you a sneak preview of our progress....or i may leave it to the end when it is all ready, i will wait and see. Have a great weekend one and all.....

Hey Amanda - thankyou for my beautiful marble pear that Denise presented me with at Weekday Wino's last week. I adore it - as I do my smaller one too!! Maybe I will have to purchase a large one as well????? Can't possibly have an even number....
